Notes:
(1) This is going to be interesting. Nearly all the reviews I've seen have either praised this as Mark Millar's best book, or panned it as Mark Millar's worst book.
- I suppose it's one of those phenomena that inherently triggers a response, good or bad. Like anything socially/politically/artistically divisive: the things people like are the exact things others hate.

Notes:
(1) Part of me wonders whether the whole point of this series is to show how ridiculous a character Batman is.
- Whether it's his Grant Morrison-esque preparedness, his ability to single-handedly clobber an army, his unlimited bank account, etc.
(2) I'm not a fan of the twist ending. For a series that tested suspension of disbelief, this may have been too farfetched.

Notes:
(1) This book is okay, nothing special. I appreciate its eagerness to push the envelope, but the whole idea seems to be how sick and twisted they can make Nemesis, without care for much substance.
(2) The riddles here makes no sense.
- Possibly intentionally, to mock supervillains using riddles?
(3) Batman levels of preparedness are always too deus ex machina for me.
